matches well with the car.

 

Lookin good man, that color goes great with your car!

 

There are a couple of threads you can search for...1) The "Will it fit" thread (it might be titled a little different I dont remember the exact name) and 2) The vendor selling the rims on this site has a thread established to answer all your questions regarding fitment.

I am no expert other then repeating information that I already gathered myself about my specific application. Also, I did not purchase the rims from the vendor on this website. I purchased the rims from

http://www.autoglitz.com/

I did so because 1) I am friends with the owner and staff and 2) they beat all quotes for the rims by $100. They also mentioned that they will offer the same price for the rims to all others. If you are interested please PM me and I will get you the contact information.

 

I got so lucky with the color choice. My intention when buying the rims was to go with something dark and mean looking but I normally don't like the way black rims look on cars. They look to much like the old hub cap style steel rims. I wanted it to stand out a little more than that so I said Gunmetal should be slightly brighter/more visable then the black rims. It turned out it almost color matched the paint perfectly depending on the lighting.

Then I got black lugs and I should be painting the calipers and rotors black as well for a contrast.

Thanks for all the kind words!

 

Should I change this to a calling all Forgestar thread??

 

^ What he said. Dont know if you saw it

 

I forgot to reply to this...I have an issue you see (among the many others )

1) This would most likely lower the front end even more...and I would LOVE the look however...I've already scrapped the crap out of the frame from bottoming out in shitty *** miami driveways and roads! I hate Miami! I never had this issue till I got here.

2) I don't have the work space to do this.

So should I leave it as is and is there any negative side effects other then looks?

I am even contemplating getting an expensive suspension I can adjust the ride height on the fly but I am not sure. I eventually want to start racing the car on the weekends but I am not sure what coilover set would suit all these needs and be better then my currect Tein and Koni setup.

 

legit

 

Do they rub on full lock against the inner wells?

 

Pretty sure they don't as they are 265/35 and a little short. 275/35 would get pretty close but still shouldn't cause much, if any, of a problem. My tires should sit in a very similar position and I'm close enough to rub dirt off the plastic piece with my tire but it doesn't really catch (18x9.5 +28 with 245/40) lol.

 

Huh? Don't laugh at me but I thought you were telling me a name for a suspension so I googled Legit and nothing so either I am a moron and your talking about something else or I suck and I can't find it!

So far I am still in the break in period for the tires. I have about 200 miles to go but I still kinda drive it hard and so far no rubbing what so ever...Nothing.

What he said...

 

Some more pics...

Someone asked me for this pic...Honestly it does not show how fat the tires really are in compareson to the stock tires. Also keep in mind my previous tires were a 245/40/18 hence the difference may not be that dramatic.





Fendor roll









There are a few more in my photobucket...Checkum out if ya like.

 

Sexxxxy wheels. Nice work.

 

This thread delivers

 

30s ago, before I read this thread, I was in the "I'll never buy rims" club. They're expensive, they're...oh damn I need those RIMS.

I just don't know what to say...they look like they were MADE for the Ti-G RX-8. WHICH I ALSO OWN. It wouldn't be a bad thing to get a loan for rims...right? :-)

 

Hey cavemancan, heres a pic of mine... hehe.. Both cars will be at the SFL meet on nov 13.

WEll, Maybe 2

 

I didn't think it could be possible, but they look even more wicked on your WB. Love the scorch marks on the back

 

Look just cause you have a 3 rotor does not mean you need to steel my thunder!

I have an idea...Give me a 3 rotor and I'll forgive you.

 

So nobody answered me...What do you think about turning this into a calling all Forgestar thread?

That way I don't have to yell at Angel anymore! LOL!!

 

Tell you what. Get the 3 rota and Ill give you a hand to make it get the thunder back...

 

I would kill for a 3 rotor but I just can't afford 30k for that swap. Maybe if I save for the next 5 years...I just can't.

I either do a questionable swap for half that price or I get a rebult reni with a supercharger for about 5k less then the "questionable" swap.

 

is this thread dead?

 

Hell no! Make it the Calling all Forgestar thread, lol

 

Hey Cavemancan, Look how nice my wheels look.. :P
